People often ask me questions that I cannot very well answer in words, and it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence.

There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.

Anonymous asked: Please stop tagging your food pics as "health." You eat horrible processed food daily. Eating macrobiotic does not imply healthy eating.
The tag of ‘health’ is in reference to food’s effect on health, not that every meal I consume is ‘healthy’. Sorry that you misunderstood. :)
As for the macrobiotic tag, I was doing really well for a bit over a year, but lately have given in to convenience more frequently than I should. For now I’ve just been catching up on posting what I’ve been eating, and then I’ll post a summation of my health throughout, including some photos of some resulting skin conditions with reflection upon my diet in the days before such conditions were experienced.

Anonymous asked: Id you eat that fucking shit everyday you're fucking fat, that's not a diet
Oh? What is it you’re referring to? I agree that I eat some less than healthy meals/snacks from time to time, but as for being fat? This morning I weighed in at 143lbs.

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.

We must begin by frankly admitting that the first place in which to go looking for the world is not outside us but in ourselves. We are the world. In the deepest ground of our being we remain in metaphysical contact with the whole of that creation in which we are only small parts. Through our senses and our minds, our loves, needs, and desires, we are implicated, without possibility of evasion, in this world of matter and of men, of things and of persons, which not only affect us and change our lives but are also affected and changed by us…The question, then, is not to speculate about how we are to contact the world – as if we were somehow in outer space – but how to validate our relationship, give it a fully honest and human significance, and make it truly productive and worthwhile for our world

Many adults are put off when youngsters pose scientific questions. Children ask why the sun is yellow, or what a dream is, or how deep you can dig a hole, or when is the world’s birthday, or why we have toes. Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else. Why adults should pretend omniscience before a five-year-old, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that you don’t know? Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys many adults. A few more experiences like this, and another child has been lost to science. There are many better responses. If we have an idea of the answer, we could try to explain. If we don’t, we could go to the encyclopedia or the library. Or we might say to the child: ‘I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.’

The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth.

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.
